this is what people say who have never owned a gaming PC in their life.

Actually I say that as someone who built my own PC a good 6-7 years ago. Since then I upgraded to a better GPU and more RAM a couple years back, which were pretty easy upgrades but I know that sooner rather than later my 7 year old CPU will likely struggle to keep up with some newer games. My motherboard is also apparently outdated and not compatible with most newer stuff so if I wanted to buy a new CPU I would likely have to buy a new motherboard too, which at that point basically means having to build a new PC all over again. Even taking money out of the equation, I simply dont have the time or patience to go through that again. I guess if youre a hardcore PC gamer and treat it as a hobby then that whole process could be seen as fun and exciting. But for a casual PC gamer who appreciates the console like simplicity of devices like the Steam Deck, that stuff feels more like work than anything else.
